“There were eighty-eight suspected overdose fatalities in Orange County in 2017,” Orange County District Attorney David Hoovler said in press release. “The opioid crises continues to claim far too many lives. This weekend alone there were four suspected overdose deaths in our county. While we continue to recommend treatment for many offenders who are addicted to narcotics, reducing the supply of narcotics by imposing meaningful state prison sentences on narcotics traffickers is a necessary part of the solution to this epidemic.”

The investigation is ongoing. Anyone with additional information is asked to contact Sgt. Farina at the Town of Montgomery Police Department.
